Illy Ground Espresso Coffee, Classico Medium Roast - Mild & Balanced - 100% Arabica - Pre-Ground for Espresso - Pressurized Packaging Sealed for Freshness - 8.8oz (Pack of 2)

Sorry folks, but Starbucks has nothing on the espresso, cappuccinos and lattes I make at home with Illy. A friend introduced me to this brand almost 15 years ago and I've never found its equal (and I've looked). The problem was finding it locally. Often I would have to go to 3 different stores and still come up empty. You can often find it at World Market or William Sonoma, but not always this particular roast. I prefer the medium ground espresso blend. I prepare the espresso in my Breville "Infuser" Espresso Machine (previous I had Krups). I know there are purists out there who prefer to grind their own beans (and Illy has whole beans if you prefer), but the ground beans come in a vacuum sealed can and the grind seems to be perfect. Every shot comes out with just the right amount of crema and the flavor is full and not too tart as I've found other espresso blends. With the exception of days when I'm away from home traveling, not ONE day has gone by in the past decade + where I haven't had my morning Illy. And I miss it when I'm on the road. On the occasions where I ran out of my Illy (that is, until I starting using Amazon Prime and now I'm never out of stock), I've tried Lavazza, which is touted as Italy's favorite, and it serves well as my backup, but nothing compares to my Illy.

We used to use individually wrapped pods but the box of 150 (the only affordable way to purchase) took up too much room. These Illy cans are small enough for one person to use most of the product up having one double a day before it starts to turn rancid. Perfect size for two people or a heavier drinker; your espresso will always be fresh. It costs a bit more per shot than the bulk pods but we save on the space. And it costs much less per shot than say a box of 12 pods. The flavor is excellent, never bitter, and the grind is very fine. It basically packs itself. I can't apply any pressure or my machine won't be able to handle it.

Very smooth coffee

I love it

The best coffee for my taste

I love this coffee, when I feel lazy and don't want to grind coffee for my espresso machine this is finely ground enough for that. I wouldn't use this coffee in a Moka pot, drip coffee maker, pour over, or French press. I will continue to rebuy this when my stock get depleted. It is what I drink mostly when I am home by myself or when I have guests over and don't want to open a bag of whole beans to grind.

So I found Illy coffee one time in a gas station. It was in a little can and the design stuck out to me. Once I had their cold canned coffee I fell in love. For the longest time I looked everywhere for it when finally my girlfriend found it at TJ Maxx at a discount. After making my first french press with this coffee I couldn't turn back. Since then I have been exclusively buying the illy espresso roast. It has a strong bold flavor but if you add a bit of creamer it becomes a sweet almost dessert like coffee. I highly recommend this coffee for a french press just make sure you have a good screen! Cheers to illy!

In my opinion this is the finest coffee on the market for making espresso or cappuccino. There's no comparison. I make a lot of espresso and cappuccino. It also makes a wonderful cup of drip coffee. Not too dark of a roast. That's what I like. Great Aroma and very smooth. Not too acidic either.

Excellent Coffee by Illy, thanks to amazon for bringing it to India

ATTENZIONE !!! Le informazioni indicate sono fasulle. Ordinando l'opzione 2 confezioni da 250gr arriva una sola confezione (ammaccata) 12 € per una sola confezione è un prezzo esagerato.

Illy es el mejor café. Llegó antes de tiempo.

I couldn’t live without this coffee. I have a delonghi coffee machine and this makes the best coffee by far.. I’ve worked my way through a lot of different coffee. It is on the more expensive side, but well worth it if you like your coffee.

Sulla descrizione riportava scritto che erano 2 barattoli di caffè ma io ne ho ricevuto solo uno, pessimo acquisto
